Body_Art_In_The_Work_Place

Body Art In The Work Place When I think about the words “body art,” I think about self-expression. It comes in many forms such as tattoos, body piercing, skin branding and scarification, and to even more extreme measures such as amputation of body parts. Body art has been an accepted form of body modification for thousands of years. Tattooing has been around since 12000 BC; records prove that they “were found in Egypt during the time of the building of the pyramids” (Desai). The earliest forms of body piercing also date back to the Egyptians, where Pharos would have their navels pierced (“Body Piercing”). Ever since then, this art form has made its way all around the world, and it is becoming a widely accepted form of self-expression. However, it is also considered an unacceptable way to modify your body, especially in the work place. I feel that no such person adorning any form of body art, no matter how extreme the case, should be denied a job that they are qualified to perform. I do not think people should judge others by their first impression of a person.
